Although the utilization of biochar dates back thousands of years, the industry as we know it today and envision its future development is still in its nascent stages. Many companies have engaged in biochar production without a comprehensive understanding of the process to extract the maximum value from their feedstocks. There is a growing emphasis on feedstock optimization, including the extraction of ancillary products such as lignin, wood oils, and vinegars. Post-processing of biochar can also enhance its value and alter its intended use.
We assist companies entering the market in defining their purpose, feedstocks, processes, and maximizing the utilization of unused resources. Additionally, we provide guidance on integrating energy generation, heating, and cooling solutions where applicable.
• Feedstock Sourcing: Identify local biomass waste streams (agricultural residues, forestry waste, food waste, etc.).
• Quality & Composition Analysis: Conduct laboratory testing to determine carbon content, moisture levels, and contaminants.
• Supply Chain Assessment: Develop sustainable feedstock procurement strategies to ensure continuous production.
• Carbon Sequestration Analysis: Measure and verify the carbon retention potential of biochar.
• Certification Assistance: Guide projects through certification frameworks such as Verra (VCS), Gold Standard, and Puro.earth.
• Lifecycle Assessment (LCA): Conduct carbon footprint analysis to quantify greenhouse gas reductions.
• Carbon Credit Monetization: Develop strategies to sell carbon credits in voluntary and compliance markets.
• Buyer & Investor Outreach: Connect with carbon credit buyers, investors, and sustainability-focused corporations.
• Transaction Structuring: Advise on pricing models, credit bundling, and long-term revenue strategies.
